An Evangelism Training Manual for Individual or Group Use
Picture a gigantic cruise ship filled with happy people. It’s the S.S. Evangelical Gospel. In the midst of their fun and excitement, passengers have not noticed holes in the ship’s side under the water line. Well-meaning leaders are attempting to plug these holes with new methods, technology, social activism and cultural savvy. All these are important, yet the structure of the ship remains compromised by years of neglect.
In this thoroughly revised fourth edition of the now classic Tell the Truth, Will Metzger reinstates the truth framework necessary for the survival of evangelicalism. Biblical illiteracy among evangelicals is on the rise. Theological discernment between truth and error is increasingly elusive. We need to be recalibrated not to the changing times but to the changeless gospel. As useful as it is passionate, Tell the Truth will refocus and re-energize a whole new generation of believers to communicate the whole gospel, wholly by grace, truthfully and lovingly. Includes a study guide and new training materials for personal witnessing.
Endorsements
“It soars with a fresh passion for the supremacy of God in truth-driven evangelism.”
— John Piper, Retired after 33 years as Lead Pastor at Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis, and Chancellor of Bethlehem Institute for Pastoral Students, as well as Director of Desiring God
“We recommend it to everyone who asks for practical help in personal evangelism.”
— John MacArthur, Pastor-Teacher, Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California
“A reformation of personal evangelism. Metzger laments the evangelism that encourages nice people to be nice to others, in the hope that they will be nice to God. This probing book presents the key to evangelism in the power of grace, the sovereign grace of the gospel.”
— Edmund Clowney, former President, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia

Wanted: the World (Trevor Johnson)
$4.99The Well-Meant Offer of the Gospel from a Missionary’s Perspective
The Puritan evangelist Richard Alleine once wrote the following of the sincere love of God and His desire for the salvation of all who hear the invitation of the gospel:
“I tell you again, I wish you well; and not only I, but the Lord God that hath sent me to you: The Lord Jesus wishes you well; he wishes and wooes, wooes and weeps, weeps and dies, that your Souls might live, and be blessed for ever: He hath once more sent me to you, even to the worst amongst you, to tell you from him, that he’s unwilling you should perish; that he hath a kindness for you in his heart, if you will accept it…”
In this short volume, missionary Trevor Johnson defends this same view, that God desires the salvation, in some fashion, of all men, and that this gospel is a true and sincere appeal and invitation.
Johnson writes as one who fully affirms the absolute sovereignty of God, the Five Points of Calvinism, and even the judicial hatred of God for unrepentant sinners, and yet is troubled by a growing trend among some Calvinists to deny the sincere and well-meant offer of the gospel.
Johnson affirms that if someone asks you this query from a tortured soul, “Do you believe that God really wants to save even me?” that you can answer most assuredly, “Yes! God would have you to be saved and would rejoice over your salvation even now!”
We mirror the very heart of God when we love souls and desire their salvation.

Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God (J. I. Packer)
$13.75If God is in control of everything, can Christians sit back and not bother to evangelize? Or does active evangelism imply that God is not really sovereign at all?
Dr. James Packer shows in this classic study how both of these attitudes are false. In a careful review of the biblical evidence, he shows how a right understanding of God’s sovereignty is not so much a barrier to evangelism as an incentive and powerful support for it.
This is a book of unspeakable value which has sharpened Christian minds on the subject of spreading the gospel since its first publication in 1961.

The Gospel and Personal Evangelism (Mark Dever)
$10.75Evangelism is not only misunderstood, it is often unpracticed. Many Christians want to share the gospel with others, but because we don’t grasp the fundamentals of witnessing, we feel intimidated and incapable of sharing the truth of the gospel. Here’s a book that offers real help to form in ourselves a habit of genuine personal evangelism.
“For most of us, personal evangelism is the reverse of easy, and so it becomes a task we evade. Mark Dever writes to shake us up about this, clearing our heads as to just what evangelizing involves and motivating our hearts to go to it realistically and responsibly. This is a word in season that will surely do a great deal of good.” – J. I. Packer, Professor of Theology, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia
